The two rappers famously collaborated for the acclaimed album Watch the Throne; it seems now the two are on a ‘war of bars’, with Jay-Z dissing his old friend on Kill Jay Z: “You walkin’ around like you invincible, you dropped outta school, you lost your principles. I know people backstab you, I felt bad too. But this ‘fuck everybody’ attitude ain’t natural, but you ain’t a saint, this ain’t kumbaye.”
Coming from a track he dedicated to his late father, Adnis Reeves, Jay-Z raps “Must’ve been some pain in your past, too, must’ve been a karma that was past due, must it be the energy that passed through, must’ve been a pastor, many snafus.”
From an interview for iHeartRadio, the rapper recalled how he woke up at exactly 4:44 in the morning to write the titular track. The number “4” is also very significant to the couple. (Both of their birthdays fall on a 4, they married on April 4, 2008 and so, so much more)
Jay-Z also laments his famous feud with Beyonce’s sister Solange that happened inside an elevator, rapping: “You egged Solange on knowin’ all along, all you had to say you was wrong” (From Kill Jay Z)
